i know exacccctly how you feel re: your relationship. i basically broke up with mike for all the reasons you're citing about eric, except i was more like eric and he's more like you. he was getting so passionate and consumed by his career, and i was feeling really left out because his job was getting first priority, and it was wearing him out so when we were together he didn't want to do anything... it made me feel like we were going in different directions and had no future together. but like, it's been 3 months now since we broke up and i realized basically that he was right and i was wrong. i feel like i should have supported him instead of trying to mold him into the perfect boyfriend instead of emphasizing him becoming like a complete person and supporting him for following his dreams.

sorry, long comment. basically, if we hadn't broken up i would've stayed this nagging self-centered girlfriend, and we for sure would've broken up eventually anyways. but i think now because we were able to have some time apart, we actually do have a chance at getting back together and making it work this time.

definitely keep on following your dreams!

awww thanks for the long comment! i always enjoy them. i want to make sure that Eric is getting the affection and attention that he needs- especially after reading all of your posts. it's made me a lot more conscious of him and his wants and needs. i am for sure going to keep following my dreams, but i am going to try really hard to hang onto Eric. if it doesn't work out, it doesn't work out and i can walk away a little bit wiser. thanks again for the wisdom :)
